Gosh. October. That can only mean Iceland Airwaves 2010 is very, very nearly here. I've been busy interviewing various bands in advance. I've got 12 done at the moment, and another 4 or 5 to follow with luck. They will be appearing at the rate of one or two per day from now until the big kick-off in Reykjavik on the 13th. I arrive in town on Wednesday afternoon and it looks like the first band I'll see will be Rokkurro at the wonderful 12 Tonar record store. See you there?

For today, I have one tip for everyone. Go and check out the blog kept by the legend that is Dr Gunni here. Even if you don't understand the Icelandic, I'm sure you understand the word (?) "MP3". There's so much here to love. Scroll down and you'll soon find the brand new single from Benny Crespo's Gang and exclusive live performances from three of Iceland's very finest – Reykjavik!, Retro Stefson & FM Belfast – all recorded live from the film Backyard.

Most brilliantly of all on Dr Gunni's blog, you will find a thirty track compilation of Iceland Airwaves 2010 artists – tracklist below. Enjoy.
